Camper Van Conversion FAQs
Which van is best for conversion to a camper?
When choosing a van for conversion into a camper, several models are popular due to their size, reliability, and suitability for living space. Here are some ideal options:
Volkswagen Transporter (T5/T6): Known for its iconic design and versatility, the VW Transporter is spacious and has a strong aftermarket support for parts and accessories.
Ford Transit: The Ford Transit comes in various lengths and heights, making it easy to find one that fits your needs. It’s known for its reliability and practicality.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: This van offers a large cargo area and high roof options, providing ample space for a comfortable camper conversion. It’s also known for its durability and advanced features.
Renault Trafic: A good balance of size and functionality, the Renault Trafic is easy to drive and has a good reputation for fuel efficiency.
Peugeot Boxer / Citroën Relay / Fiat Ducato: These vans share a platform and offer excellent space and payload capacity, making them ideal for conversions. They are also generally more affordable than some other options.
Vauxhall Vivaro: Similar to the Renault Trafic, the Vivaro provides good space and flexibility for custom conversions, making it a popular choice.
When selecting a van, consider factors like budget, size, driving comfort, and the type of features you want in your camper. Additionally, think about whether you prefer a new van with a warranty or a used one that might offer more value for the money.
Can any van be converted to a camper?
Yes, almost any van can be converted into a camper, but there are a few factors to consider. The main thing would be size and space. Larger vans (like cargo vans or high-roof vans) typically offer more space for sleeping, cooking, and storage, making them more suitable for full camper conversions. Smaller vans can still be converted, but the space will be limited. The van’s structure should be sound and capable of supporting additional weight from fixtures like beds, kitchen setups, and appliances. If you have a specific van in mind, please get in touch and our expert team can offer you friendly advice before you begin on your camper conversion journey.
Do you have to tell the DVLA if you convert a van to a camper?
Yes, if you convert a van into a camper or motorhome in the UK, you must inform the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency). It’s essential to change the vehicle’s classification from “van” to “motor caravan” to ensure that it is accurately taxed, insured, and registered.
Do you need to inform your insurance when converting a van to a camper?
Yes, you must inform your insurance provider if you convert a van into a camper or motorhome. The conversion changes the vehicle’s purpose, which may require different coverage options. Informing your insurer ensures you have adequate protection for the new use. It’s best to contact your insurance provider before or as soon as you complete the conversion to discuss the necessary changes to your policy.
